Default FPS Difference in Computer Upgrade.

I'm not expecting a HUGE gameing experience change from my upgrade, but I was wondering how much FPS you guys think I would gain.

Here's what I've ugpraded

300 WATT to 400 WATT
Athlon XP 1800+ to a Athlon 64 3000
Asus A7V 333 to a Asus K8N
512 MB PC333 to 512 MB PC400

Will this make a big difference in lets say...Hitman III?

LOL thats a very open ended, incomplete question! What's the videocard involved? And what graphics settings?

You'll notice some difference for sure hands down but the bottleneck has now shifted from the cpu/mobo to the videocard. I wouldnt say more than a 20fps improvement

Yeah, I agree. Ill let you know how it goes. Thanks for all your help. Should be a real nice system all said in done.

Hope that leap from the XP to the 64 was worth it!
